Therapists in Las Cruces, NM

Evolution can be messy. Healing and growth are non-linear processes which may feel challenging at times. A holistic approach to healing ensures that we are addressing all facets of the human experience, creating a space to discover our truest and most authentic selves, even when it feels like a hurdle. Dr. Seuss (Theodore Geisel) put it best, “Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.” I aim to make therapy a safe container where those questions can be explored, either one-on-one in an individual therapy session, or for couples, in a joint session.

Starting therapy can be a challenging yet very empowering step to uncovering your true self. My goal in treatment is to empower my clients, provide unconditional positive regard and teach that healing can lead to a more fulfilling and meaningful life. I believe that every client is on their own unique journey. A person-centered approach is a modality I find not only beneficial but necessary to helping individuals thrive and be all they can be.

Are you looking for support in dealing with life's difficulties? If you are in a tough place due to experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, burnout, grief, trauma, lack of self-esteem, or find yourself stuck in emotions I want you to know there is help available. It's hard to know how to manage the things life can throw our way. No matter how difficult, there is a unique and authentic path you can discover with guidance and support. All it takes is an open mind and a willingness to take action to make intentional changes in your life.

My clients bring in a range of issues and have varying ideas of what they would like to change about themselves and/or their lives -- but they all have one thing in common, and that is motivation for change. Therapy can, and should, be a place for self-reflection and self-improvement and I am here to support that process. While a lot of my experience has been with children/adolescents and mood disorders, I approach every client with an open mind and heart, and strive to always create a safe and inviting space.

My goal as a therapist is to help my clients develop the skills they need to navigate their way through life as well as provide support through all of life's experiences. I provide culturally aware services that take into account the individual client's unique make-up; in regards to age, gender, sexuality, culture, ethnicity, etc., combined with the issue that they are facing to ensure the best care possible. Together we'll work on achieving your goals in a non-judgemental setting.

I’m a highly experienced psychotherapist working with clients in Santa Fe and Albuquerque. I love moving with people through the places they want to change and grow. I’m honored to help those seeking clarity, calm, wisdom, freedom, and understanding.

Hi there! First, I want to commend you on taking the first step to seeking the right fit for therapy services. I have a great passion to help individuals who are experiencing a variety of difficulties that life may bring. I strive to help my clients find healthy perceptions of themselves and mutually develop goals for therapy. I want my clients to feel complete, empowered and safe.

I am honored to have the experience of holding people's most painful moments, helping them in processing and moving forward with courage and hope. I use an integrative, non-judgmental approach to my therapy that can include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a well researched modality used to process trauma. I also utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness and communication training that will give you specific strategies to help you take what you learn in session and apply these tools in your day-to-day life. Please note: I only offer online therapy.

I believe in the innate wisdom in each person, and I seek to provide a safe container and gentle guidance to allow that wisdom to emerge and guide the healing journey. I work primarily with somatic, mindfulness, and parts-work modalities while also drawing on my experience in eco-therapy. Sessions support you in diving deep while feeling supported. Sessions take place online, in office, at the horse ranch, or in the forest depending on your needs and goals.

The three main ingredients for a helpful therapeutic relationship are unconditional positive regard, non-judgment, and empathy. I am a believer that you are the world’s leading expert in what it is like to be you. My role as your therapist is to help you navigate your journey, pointing out mile markers and other signs, while your role is to be in the driver’s seat as the expert of your own world. My goal as a therapist is to integrate a variety of therapeutic approaches that best suit clients on an individual, case-to-case basis.

Therapy is a strange and uniquely wonderful thing that can be intimidating. However, I believe that through a holistic approach that takes into account the bio-psycho-social aspects of the individual, we can decrease the discomfort. I practice in using evidence-based treatment modalities while striving for a direct and transparent working relationship.

You are overwhelmed. It's hard to remember when you felt pleasure on a regular basis. You don't know where to start. The strategies that used to work don't any longer.

You are out looking for yourself, actually-and this is great, honorable work (although it can feel excruciating). I will help you find that starting place. I will be the the witness. I will share my opinions, but it will be your life and wants that guide the process.

As a therapist I like to help you not waste time and get right to the core of what it is you’d like to process. I participate in sessions and offer feedback, support, new perspectives, validation and therapeutic exercises.

We all know what anxiety feels like. We get butterflies in our stomachs, our hearts pound; we worry and fret, or feel jittery. This can happen when we are alone, in social contexts, elevators, in the car, or even just thinking about it. If worries and fears, anxiety, panic, or insomnia related to anxiety are preventing you from living your life the way you’d like, you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder. Anxiety is an emotion characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts and physical changes like increased blood pressure. In short it is our body’s response to a perceived threat.

Do you worry all the time? Perhaps you struggle to find self confidence or a positive relationship with yourself, you may also feel depressed or without joy. Your self defeating thoughts may be debilitating. Perhaps your relationships suffer. You aren't feeling like your authentic self and it takes a toll on your mental health.
